As the controversy surrounding the new presidential jet continues, activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has wondered why the president would splash a whopping N150 billion on a new jet when the one he’s replacing is still almost new.
Speaking with Arise News, Adeyanju said: “From where we are
standing, we have not seen any sign of goodwill from the government, the most
brazing of lack of care for the Nigerian people is the presidential jet he just
launched, whooping N150 billion. The jet he replaced is still almost new.
“The US Presidential jet is almost 50 years old, the British
Prime Minister is still flying commercial. When it comes to cost of governance,
the US President pays for everything he eats in the White House. The convoy of
the Nigerian President is enough to get him impeached if things were working in
this country.”
He further noted: “The amount of resources the government
put into stopping this protest, imagine we put that same resource into fixing
this country.
“We never knew that we had this type of security
mobilisation in the country until the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest. This
means we can tackle the issue of insecurity in the country if we want.
“This means that some people do not want insecurity to be
solved. In the FCT, police said they deployed over 4000 officers; just imagine
what these amount of officers will do in Zamfara, Sokoto, and Kebbi.
“It would have prevented the death of the Emir of Sokoto. An
Emir was abducted, displayed by bandits, and killed, in a country where we have
a government.
“In this same country, 1,400 protesters have been arrested
by the protester-in-chief, who has always been protesting and a chief critic of
others. These are people who called a sitting president a kindergarten
president and all sorts of names. It’s now their turn to receive protest, but
protesters must meet the government, have an identified leader, and converge at
a particular location.”
